The CMS Uses Two Ports

The CMS uses two ports:

• Request Port (selected dynamically by default)
• Name Server Port (6400 by default)

Other BusinessObjects Enterprise servers initially contact the CMS on its Name Server port. The CMS responds to this initial contact by returning the value of its Request Port. The BusinessObjects Enterprise servers use this Request Port for subsequent communication with the CMS.
